YTD as of 2026-10-21 · source: Yahoo Finance
Lowe’s returned 63.3% in 2021, while suppliers Masco and Stanley Black & Decker gained 29.6% and 7.3%. In 2022, Lowe’s fell 21.5%, compared with declines of 32.1% for Masco and 58.9% for Stanley Black & Decker. As of October 21, 2026, Lowe’s was down 17.2% year to date, while Masco was up 19.1% and Stanley Black & Decker up 31.4%. Supplier shares have led the retailer, but higher purchase volumes are unproven. Lowe’s fiscal Q2 2026 sales rose 8.3%, including acquisition effects, while comparable sales rose only 0.2%. Masco disclosed only that 2025 sales to Lowe’s were less than 10% of its consolidated sales, so the supplier rally cannot yet be tied to rising Lowe’s procurement. The next tests are Masco’s customer-level quarterly sales and Lowe’s comparable demand.
